  • I'm really glad that it works, and please don't take this the wrong way... but the solder joints look awful.

    The only reason I'm saying this is because I suspect that after repeated use, they might fail and you will have to redo them. Maybe redo them now?

    May I ask what your soldering technique is? Did you by any chance try to apply the solder to the iron and then struggle to apply that to the pins? This is a common misconception among beginners, hence me asking - you're supposed to heat the pins with the iron and then apply solder to the heated pins, where it will flow into place. Also, applying flux beforehand will help with that.

  • This has existed long before the AI hype. Dialog systems were around in the 80s, operating off of tapes. The concept itself is even older.

    I ran an Asterisk server with speech recognition 20 years ago. Sure, TTS didn't nearly have the recognition rates it has today, but it was enough to figure out the caller's intent from the email message that was delivered after the fact.

    I still run a very similar setup today, except I no longer self host and pretty much ever component has improved. Honestly, its a godsend to be able to deal with people or businesses that still rely on phone conversations, something I will never tolerate. I simply don't do phone calls.

  • Would you do this mainly because you want to figure out if you can, or mostly due to the 40€ price difference?

  • Still, would you really want that? A half-baked device in your network, a device you suspect would constantly betray you, if given the chance?

    I personally can't imagine getting used to that. I'd despise the device (and myself probably).

    Nah really, I'd like to see some examples of said aesthetic to figure out if I can see it. If you don't want to post your own, store bough examples are fine, too.

  • Rhea Seehorn Wins Golden Globe for Best Actress in a TV Drama "Pluribus"

    Jump

  • You're not supposed to like Carol Sturka, so great - the writing worked.

    I consider Pluribus to be one the really great shows in the last decade, and I also do not like Carol. Often, I'm annoyed by her actions, and once or twice I was really pissed at how she interacted with the Others, because IMHO, there was just so much unnecessary hostility, or she was just being a dense cunt.

    Why would a movie, a TV show or a play require the audience to like the protagonist? Outside of these fictional depictions, I'd probably not be acquainted with someone like Carol - but here, I want to watch her. I want to see how she deals with the overall situation, how choices made by someone who is fundamentally different from me play out, how she grows as a character, how she overcomes her flaws, of which there are many, or how she might completely fail. There even is the option I eventually grow to like her. Wouldn't that be great, an actual character arc?

    Carol is an alcoholic who doubts her self-worth and has just lost her love, a death which she directly blames on what she considers to be the alien invaders she now has to interact with on a daily basis. She was also recently promoted to one of the greatest mass murderers in history and the isolation she suffered as consequence of her actions made her realize she really can't exist in complete solitude, leading to a complex relationship with an entity she wants to hate. I think she deserves some jagged edges.

  • I really don't think Pluribus is a comedy show.

    Naturally, given its setting, it will be absurd at times, and how people deal with situations will be equally absurd - there can be comedy in those moments, but that's about it.

  • Let's not forget to mention that these resistant bacteria start to spread, making antibiotics less and less useful over time, for everyone.

    We're already at a place where antimicrobial resistance has become a huge issue, rendering treatments with antibiotics useless in many cases.

    https://www.who.int/news/item/13-10-2025-who-warns-of-widespread-resistance-to-common-antibiotics-worldwide

    If you ever suffered through a bacterial infection and remember how you felt once the antibiotics finally kicked in, and the prolonged suffering resistances would cause, or ever watched a loved one in a hospital die from a bacterial infection just because the were in a weakened state and the stem they caught was already resistant, you'll understand why that sucks so much as it does.

  • "Armchair xyz" refers to an unqualified person speaking confidently about topics they have no experience or training in, and giving (often unsolicited) advice that could be inappropriate, not applicable, or even downright harmful. Additionally, they sometimes get upset when their advice is not welcome or not heeded, leading to additional tension.

    I assume OP is receiving similar treatment from their family.
